4th grade students were show how to draw a castle using basic shapes (squares, rectangles and triangles). We looked at photos of castles and brainstormed different architectural details we could include in our castles such as spires, bricks, flags, etc. Students used colored pencils to complete their drawing, creating a light source by shading their castle from light to dark.

About Me

Welcome! I am an elementary art teacher teaching grades K-5 in New York. I am in my 5th year teaching and have been so inspired by the work other art teachers have posted on the internet that I wanted to start my own blog to share all of the ideas I have come across. I love creating lessons and hope that you will find some inspiration of your own through my work.
